Our take on Project13: Nightwatch
The defining mechanic is the watch post: prisoners approach the headquarters while the player inspects them through binoculars, decides whether an anomaly is present, and sends a report.
What is Project13: Nightwatch?
Project13: Nightwatch is an observation game set at Project 13's remote headquarters.
As the night watch Observer, the player uses binoculars to examine prisoners approaching the base and identify hidden anomalies or suspicious behavior. Detected threats must be reported to central command, while false alarms and distractions can interfere with surveillance. The game introduces changing environmental conditions, unpredictable weather, and different intrusion tactics. Later progress brings more complex adversaries and harder-to-spot anomalies, requiring observation and quick decisions to protect the headquarters.
